Hello! And here we are again – I promise, as always, to keep it brief. You might’ve spotted some Mafia: The Old Country reviews going live around about now, but unfortunately we won’t have a review for you here on the site today – or indeed on the game’s full launch when it comes out later this afternoon.
This is because at the time of writing, we haven’t been provided with advanced review code by Mafia’s publisher, 2K Games – and at this point its time for the usual caveats to bear in mind.
The most important of those: as always, we are absolutely not entitled to early code. How many codes are handed out for a game and when is entirely at the publisher’s discretion – it’s their game, they can handle access to it how they like. Instead, please just see this is another “PSA” to go along with similar ones we’ve published in the past in similar situations, such as those for games like No Man’s Sky, Watch Dogs 2, Borderlands 3, Cyberpunk 2077, Starfield, Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League or most recently, MindsEye.
We’ll do our best to bring you a full review in a timely fashion – in the meantime, you can read up on Mafia: The Old Country’s minimum PC spec requirements and how it’s set to run in various performance and quality modes, as well as our review of the most recent Mafia entry, the remake of the original in Mafia: Definitive Edition. Our news and guides teams will of course likewise be working as hard as ever to keep you abreast of everything else you might need to know. I’m personally looking forward to playing this one, and we’re looking forward to letting you know what we make of it when we can.
